Vandals attack water park

Vandals have caused hundreds to thousands of dollars damage to Port Hedland's first water play park which was due to open in a few weeks.

The Town of Port Hedland says offenders have entered the construction site and poured chemical material over the splash pad, causing major damage.

In a separate incident, offenders broke into the caretaker's facility and flooded the residence.

Marquee Park Splash and Play was due to open on December 2.

Mayor Kelly Howlett says the site is now not expected to open until the new year, which is extremely disappointing.

"A lot of work, a lot of money and a lot of effort and pride goes into the construction and putting together of these facilities and it's just devastating when something like this happens, so hand yourself in and if you do know someone who is responsible, please report it into Crime Stoppers," she said.

She says council will work with contractors on developing a new works program and opening date.

"Now we do not have an opening date and certainly it's going to be dependent on a number of things unfortunately," she said.

"We may need to do a new splash pad laying down and depending on the availability of workers and resources and materials to do that."

You have no doubt been hearing a lot about the Paris Agreement and know that it pertains to climate change, but are too embarrassed at this stage to ask for an overall explanation of what it's all about.
